Systems Innovation refers to all aspects of developing and deploying new technology, methodology, techniques, and best practices in advancing industrial production and economic development. This entails such topics as product design and development, entrepreneurship, global trade, environmental consciousness, operations and logistics, introduction and management of technology, collaborative system design, and product commercialization. Industrial innovation suggests breaking away from the traditional approaches to industrial production. It encourages the marriage of systems science, management principles, and technology implementation. Particular focus will be the impact of modern technology on industrial development and industrialization approaches, particularly for developing economics. The series will also cover how emerging technologies and entrepreneurship are essential for economic development and society advancement.
The 2020 Taylor and Francis Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Professor Adedeji B. Badiru in honor of making significant and pioneering contributions in the field of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and related disciplines and for his extensive publication record including books, chapters, and also serving as the Series Editor or Co-Series Editor of “Systems Innovation Book Series”, “Environmental and Occupational Health Series”, and “Analytics and Control Series”.
If you are interested in writing or editing a book for the series or would like more information, please contact Cindy Carelli, [email protected].
